One of the most pervasive and dangerous myths people accept is that it’s normal for the body to weaken and become increasingly fragile with age. That’s not true. Author and yogi Suza Norton argues that yoga can prevent and reverse what is considered a “normal” part of the aging process such as:
• Accumulation of fat in all the wrong places.
• Loss of muscle strength.
• Reduction in motor fitness – balance, flexibility, agility, power and reaction time.
• Reduction in work capacity and associated oxygen intake capacity during attempts at hard work or exercise.
• Reduction in respiratory reserves (breath holding and ventilatory capacity)
• Increased ligamentous injuries and dislocation strains in shoulders, knees, spine, and inguinal (groin) region.
• Decrease in resiliency and suppleness of the arteries.
• Loss of calcium or osteoporosis, which leads to a weakened and brittle skeletal system.
